NASPE Resource Brief Physical Education Programs Being Cut! A disturbing trend is gaining momentum around the country. Even in the light of evidence related to the role that a quality, standards-based physical education program plays in the development of the whole child, local school districts are reducing, or eliminating, physical education programs at all levels. The current political and economic climates have forced local school boards to make decisions regarding the dollars they have available to supply a meaningful education experience for their students causing physical education programs to be cut. These decisions certainly are not addressing all of the students’ needs. The reason may be a lack of understanding about the purpose and benefits of a quality physical education program. In most cases, the absence of local, state, and federal requirements for physical education has made it an easy target for cutbacks or reductions. The burden falls upon the physical education

All children should receive basic instruction in motor skills and sport activities through comprehensive physical education programs. We believe that such programs facilitate the skills and knowledge necessary to support an active, productive and healthy lifestyle. Intramural and other physical activity programs extend and complement physical education to ensure that all child

Recess is an essential component of a comprehensive school physical activity program and of the total education experience for elementary school students.

44 JOPERD • Volume 77 No. 6 • August 2006 W hen the clock struck midnight on December 31, 2000, we moved into the 21st century. Noted historian Roberta Park (1989) has suggested that the turn of the century marked the beginning of the second century for the profession of physical education. She also noted that it was time for physical education to move on from its status as a “second-class” profession to “first class” status, or as she put it, to “become the renaissance profession of the new millennium” (p. 1). During the 20th century, medicine emerged as the renaissance profession because of the development of a sound scientific base. Substantial scientific evidence supports the role of physical activity in disease prevention and healthy lifestyle promotion, and quality physical education represents our best opportunity to provide all children with physical activity experiences that promote physical activity now and for a lifetime. The characteristics of quality physical education
